My job has high turnover, long hours and more than its share of issues, but I swear there are days where half of it spent listening to complaints or even joining in on them.
I'm a level-headed college graduate who busted his ass to get to middle management in a career that's the polar opposite of my degree, rubbing elbows with dropouts, the absent-minded ghetto and ex-cons.
I complain more, the team openly curses (even at regional management level), and no other company has so much as responded to my applications in over a year of trying, so I'm feeling pretty stuck in a negative environment.
My home life is a happy marriage with two young, amazing children in a nice part of town. I do it for them, but man, this can't be the thing I do until retirement.
